There are two options: run it in trainers and vest, or go for the full Boots and Bergen challenge with 35lbs on your back. Target time is 1 hour 50 minutes, as it is in P Company selection.
The PARAS’10 is organised by and benefits The Parachute Regiment Charity. We encourage runners to raise sponsorship funds for the Charity too.
If every runner raised just £100, then that’s £400,000 to support the Charity and its work. Of course, you are free to raise funds for any cause of your choice.
In 2011 Matt Baker, presenter of BBC’s The One Show and Countryfile, kindly agreed to start the firing gun. Matt did P Company with Blue Peter in 2004. Thanks, Matt.
This is OUR event. If there’s only one challenge you set yourself this year, make it this one.
